Not only that, look here in Hebrews 11, verse 23.
I love this little segment of scripture about Moses and his parents, because it shows how
the parents had the faith to do what was right and not to fear, and then that was
passed on to the child.
Look what it says in Hebrews 11, 23.
By faith, Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they
saw he was a proper child, and they were not afraid of the King's commandment.
They said, look, I don't care what the King says, I'm not going to sin against
the Lord here, I'm going to preserve this child, I'm not going to have this abortion
that they're trying to force on me of killing the male children.
And it says they were not afraid of the King's commandment.
Look what it says next.
By faith, Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's
daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the
pleasures of sin for a season, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than
the treasures in Egypt, for he had respect under the recompense of the reward.
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the King.
Notice how it's almost the exact same thing.
The parents did not fear the King's commandment.
And then Moses grows up, he does not fear the wrath of the King.
So that was passed on from generation to generation.
We need to set an example for our children, and say, you know what, we're going to do
what God says by faith, and we're not afraid to do it.
We're not afraid to preach right, and we're not afraid to go to a church that
preaches.
Oh, you go to that church?
What are you doing going there three times a week?
Oh, Pastor Jimenez is a fanatic, it's too radical, and you know, what do you mean?
You know, you spank your children, that's abuse, blah, blah, blah.
I'm going to call the child protection service.
Look, you need to teach your children boldness so that we raise up a generation that's not
completely spineless like the current generation of Christians is today.
Look, Christianity today, 99% of Christians in this country are scared of their own shadow,
and they're afraid to do what's right.
Look, I get up and preach this stuff about the homos, and most people agree with me.
It's true, but you know what they are?
Scared.
It's not that I, look, if you look at most of my, if you look at all of my preaching,
nothing that I preach is unique.
It's all Bible stuff that a lot of people have said before.
I haven't come up with any new thing, but you know, it's just a lot of people just
don't say this stuff anymore, but they used to say it, but they just don't say
it anymore because there's just a spirit of fear that's come, and we can't let this creep in.
